How often should night terrors occur?

My son is about to turn 6 monts... Lately he has been having this episodes during he's sleep. When i looked online everything seem to point to the ''night terrors''. What worries me soo much is the fact that he can have more that 3 in a night. And not even that; he has been having them every night for the past week. Tomorrow is my pidiatrician apnt. But i know they will say something that is going to make me mad!

well if he's not waking up I wouldn't worry about it, my son is a very noisy sleeper all night, just the way is, and always has been, at 7 months I turned off the monitor because he would keep me awake, even though he was sleeping, they can happen all night...usually night terrors wake up the child and distrub them, sounds like urs is just a noisey sleeper
